Others said, "He is Elijah." But others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."
So they answered, "John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; but others, one of the prophets."
So they answered and said, "John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the ancient prophets has arisen."
And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
